Hi. I currently own a 5 series tourer and am thinking of PXing for an 8 Series Grand Coupe max 2-4 year old. I’ve had the 5 series for 7 years bought with 40k on the clock. It now has 207k. I’m not a petrol head but would like any opinions on how good and reliable the 8 Series is. I will not be putting the sort of mileage that I have done on my 5 series.
Yeah, I can understand that, the B58 is a great engine, in Comfort and Eco pro, it definitely drives like you’re not in a rush to go anywhere. I have to say when you slip it into Sports Plus, it’s punchy enough but definitely nothing ridiculous.
I have to say, the 850i is definitely the best option, the M8 is somewhat redundant.
